You have an idea but where do you start?

We use our idea "The Future" as a starting point for our presentation. We could immediately start in Prezi, but sometimes it's better not to start directly with a computer. First, we need to free our mind.

Engage thrusters

Before you start brainstorming, it's a good idea to free your mind and get ready for some creativity. Pick one task from the following list. Choose the one you never do (or do the least).

• Stand up and take a five-minute walk

• Listen to the sounds around you really carefully for five minutes

• Sing your favorite song from your childhood

• Empty your Lego box on the table and start building something

• Play a game of darts or pool

• Watch a funny YouTube movie

• Run around crazily for one minute

• Laugh out loud for at least one full minute

• Buy and eat an ice cream

Objective complete – mini debriefing

Starting your brainstorm is like preparing for a new task. Brainstorming is fun but also requires hard work. Make sure you are in the right mood, free your mind, and stay focused. You don't have to be relaxed to be creative as a lot of people think, you need to be active.

Now you're ready to start your brainstorm in Prezi.
